Belding school board discusses changing controversial mascot

BELDING, Mich. -- Embrace a controversial mascot, or get rid of it? That's the question parents and school district leaders are trying to tackle in Belding.

The district's teams have been called the Redskins for decades. Although they've shied away from promoting the name or logo for years, there's now a push to make a final decision on whether or not to keep it at all.

Discussions on the school mascot continued Monday night, and representatives from Native American tribes made their voices heard.
